More quotes by Robert Frost
Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a garden and building a wall.
Robert Frost
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
Robert Frost
Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.
Robert Frost
I do not see why I should e’er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if still I held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew — Only more sure of all I thought was true.
Robert Frost
The truly educated can listen to any view without losing their temper or self-confidence.
Robert Frost
Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.
Robert Frost
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
Robert Frost
An idea is a feat of association.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
Robert Frost
How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint! How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the hint! Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.
Robert Frost
The best thing we're put here for's to see The strongest thing that's given us to see with's a telescope. Someone in every town, seems to me, owes it to the town to keep one.
Robert Frost
I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place?
Robert Frost
I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.
Robert Frost
Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault I crave the stain Of tears, the aftermark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
Hell is a half-filled auditorium.
Robert Frost
Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.
Robert Frost
When clever people ask me where I get a poem, I despair.
Robert Frost
Summoning artists to participate In the august occasions of the state Seems something artists ought to celebrate. Today is for my cause a day of days.
Robert Frost
Butterflies...flowers that fly and all but sing.
Robert Frost
If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn't take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.
Robert Frost
